Freedom of Information

The City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder is committed to making information accessible quickly and at minimal cost. Wherever possible, documents will be provided without the need for a Freedom of Information (FOI) request.

You do not need an FOI request to access much of the public information held by the City. Various documents are readily available on our website, including meeting agendas and minutes, the Town Planning Scheme, Financial and Strategic Plans, Local Laws, and other key plans and strategies.

If you’re unable to find the information you need, please contact the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder at (08) 9021 9600 or email mailbag@ckb.wa.gov.au for assistance. You may not need to submit an FOI request.

If certain information is not publicly available, the Freedom of Information Act 1992 (WA) provides individuals with the right to request access to documents held by State and Local Government agencies, subject to exemptions outlined in the Act. These exemptions are in place to protect sensitive information related to public interest, personal privacy, commercial and business confidentiality, law enforcement, and other critical areas.

For FOI requests, an application fee of $30 applies, along with any processing charges. However, there is no fee for requests involving your personal information.

To submit an FOI request, please provide:

  • A completed Freedom of Information application form
  • Sufficient details to identify the documents (e.g., property address, subject matter, date range)
  • Your contact details, including address and phone number

Once your application is received, it will be acknowledged in writing, and a decision will be made within 45 days.

Applications can be lodged by post to:
Chief Executive Officer,
City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder,
PO Box 2042,
Boulder WA 6432

Or delivered in person to:
City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder,
